TO CHOP OR NOT TO CHOP

Post by Midget »

I have a hard top 88 model and i'm trying to decide whether to chop the back off and bring it forward to make a ute or not.
Opinions welcome....

i tried to do a photoshop version, and turns out that the pre-runner(desert racer) look would not suit a zook.

maybe just go with an extra cab like every one else says.

if i find a pic, i'll post it.

I was thinking of an extra cab anyway.That way i can still fit a full internal cage so i can use it for the winch challenge series...
Is anyone good with photochopping????

Nice, but a bit less cab and a bit more tray would be even better.

ITs hard enough to have a chick in a Hard Top As Is Let Alone Taking Away the Option of Layind Down the Front Passengers Seat.

Dont Chop!!!
